The sturdy life of crossing

There is a record in Qiu Tan, and he reported the names of these people and businesses. Jian Leyang tapped his fingers on the table: "Keep these lists well. Today they look down on our Canghe Gang. One day in the future, it will be their turn to kneel down and beg us." Yes, just settle accounts with them when the time comes. It’s easy to make trouble, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow. Those who are willing to continue to use our Canghe Gang will be given a [-]% discount, and the money can be earned in other ways.”

"Okay, boss, we will give orders." Hearing what Jian Leyang said, Zhang Meng's confidence has increased a lot. The boss has already considered these situations, so there is no way to deal with them. Sending Jiang Zuofei out before was one of them. one.

"In addition, we can explore other businesses by ourselves. Others don't use our ships to transport goods. We can transport goods for ourselves. We can transport the silk tea from the south to the north. There are also many good things in the north." Those ginseng furs Mountain treasures and gems, which one is not the favorite of the rich and powerful.

"Boss, I need a lot of money, the gang's funds..." But most of it was taken away by Jiang Zuofei. If the money is too little, if their cargo ship and the gang's people take too little goods, I'm afraid It is also difficult to turn back the capital.

"I'll settle the cost. You arrange the people and ships going south first, and wait for my good news." Jian Leyang patted his ass and left, leaving behind a few puzzled people. Zhang Meng and the others were very curious. From what channels to raise large sums of money?

After Jian Leyang left Canghe Gang, he went to the brick kiln. Peng Chunyuan, the owner of the brick kiln, came out of another kiln with a smile on his face, and greeted Jian Leyang: "Boss Le is here, hurry up and see the results of the past few days with me. It is better than last time." Boss Le has seen a lot of progress, but Boss Le has a solution, and the methods he mentioned are very helpful."

Jian Leyang smiled and said: "Boss Peng, you are welcome. We are in business cooperation. If you make progress, it means that I can also earn money. We all benefit from each other."

Peng Chunyuan grinned from ear to ear. Although he is over 30 this year, he is still very motivated. He tried every means to find a way out for his half-dead brick kiln, but he couldn't make any connections. No matter how much money he spent, it was useless until the Canghe Gang wanted to find a brick kiln to buy bricks and tiles for building a house. He first offered a more realistic price to the Canghe Gang, and Jian Leyang remembered this boss that time.

In the second cooperation, Boss Peng showed full sincerity. The weather was cold, and the bricks were not so easy to burn, and the materials were very expensive.Boss Peng did not raise the price, and worked overtime to burn bricks for the Canghe gang, while maintaining the quality and quantity. Jian Leyang went to the brick kiln to look around and proposed two things. One was to use coal to replace wood, and the other was to provide blowers. Both of them can greatly improve the efficiency and temperature of combustion. After the results of the practice, Boss Peng is more determined to join the Canghe Gang.

Coal has already been used in the north, but it is daunting because of the convenience of wood and the fact that coal can be poisoned if used incorrectly. Jian Leyang not only uses coal for brick kilns, but also uses it for heating in winter Coal burns more than firewood!

After that, Jian Leyang thought of a sharp tool for making money, that is, glass products. If he didn't get this thing out, he would be ashamed to admit that he had traveled through time. Not to mention whether he could succeed, he wouldn't even try it under certain conditions. For a moment, that would definitely be a disservice to the vast crossing army, so Jian Leyang began to cooperate with Peng Chunyuan to test glass without hesitation.

This does not affect the burning of bricks, so Peng Chunyuan has no objection at all. If the experiment is successful, the Peng family will undergo earth-shaking changes. Therefore, Peng Chunyuan attaches great importance to this matter and keeps an eye on it. He also boarded the ship, and followed Le Boss to fight, the worst would be to return to the original state.

After starting the experiment, Jian Leyang had the cheek to ask Guanshi Hao and Guanshi Qu for help, and found several craftsmen in professional fields. Master Peng Chunyuan became more confident, and built a special kiln next to the brick kiln.

Jian Leyang went in with Peng Chunyuan, and Peng Chunyuan took out a box from inside, as if he was holding a priceless treasure, and the craftsman behind him came out. After opening the box, the master took out the glass wine cup inside by himself, the master craftsman I was also very excited: "The finished product this time has no impurities at all, it is very crystal clear, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a crystal cup, and it finally lived up to Mr. Le's entrustment."

Jian Leyang picked up a cup casually. Seeing his casual attitude, Peng Chunyuan and the old master were very nervous, for fear that he would accidentally drop the cup if he accidentally held it. This kind of glass product is very fragile.

"Well, it's very good." It's a bit like the glass of later generations. Of course, the texture must be much behind, but this is a very good start. "Please ask the master to burn a few more sets. It's best to get some different textures. Each set The cups are different and can be distinguished. I have a boat going to the south, just to see the market there, and then the income will be divided according to the ratio we agreed at the beginning."

Peng Chunyuan's face blossomed with joy, and he waved his hands quickly after hearing this, and said: "I know that Le Boss is in urgent need, but I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, without Le Boss, how can we get it in our brick kiln?" Such a beautiful thing."

"That's fine too. If Boss Peng doesn't need it urgently, the money will be considered as a share in the business of our Canghe Gang. If you make money, you will have your share, and if you lose the capital, you will be paid." Jian Leyang came up with a compromise. Peng Chunyuan couldn't object anymore, and he would know in the future that getting on the boat of the Canghe Gang was the most cost-effective deal he had ever done in his life.

Professionals are indeed professionals. Within a few days, when Jian Leyang came back, he saw all the finished products. There were ten sets of utensils in total, which were much more exquisite than the first set. Things, there are still many defective products that have been eliminated in the library. The master craftsmen wanted to destroy them, but they were stopped by Peng Chunyuan. These defective products are also valuable things in his eyes, so this time I asked Jian Leyang for advice.

Jian Leyang smiled after reading it: "Boss Peng is right, keep these glass products first, send high-quality goods to the south, and send these defective products to the north, who makes those foreign nobles like our Central Plains luxury goods the most. "

Jian Leyang was satisfied and left with ten boxes in his arms. The goods that Canghe Gang worked so hard to transport for a year may not be worth as much as the value of several sets of cups. Tsk, Jian Leyang sighed wildly in his heart. Such a big gap still makes people feel uncomfortable. Have you done things in a down-to-earth manner?Forget it, the development of shipping and gangs is more meaningful in other aspects. Without strength, no matter how good things are, you can’t keep them in your hands.

Zhang Meng and Qiu Tan happened to be there, and Zhao Wu, Li Si, and Zhao Erhu were all on board. Although the Qingyao Gang is unlikely to embarrass a small gang of the Canghe Gang, there is no guarantee that they will not find excuses to make trouble, so Except for Zhang Meng who stayed to guard, Zhao Wu and the others went out to press the boat.

"Boss, what is this?" The two hurried over to help, moving the box for Jian Leyang.

With empty hands, Jian Leyang went to the side and poured a cup of tea, saying, "Open it yourself and take a look. This is the good news I'm talking about. Our money must come from them."

Zhang Meng and Qiu Tan looked at each other in surprise, could it be some kind of treasure in this box?The boss of the Peng family brick kiln only asked them to keep an eye on them so that no outsiders could approach them. They didn't ask much about the rest, so they didn't know what was going on inside.Besides, what else can be burned in a brick kiln besides burning bricks?

Qiu Tan opened a box first, and when he saw what the crystal-clear objects inside were, the two gasped in unison. Zhang Meng took the lead and said, "Boss, where did you get the crystal cup? And the others too?"

"Haha, it's not a crystal cup, it's a glazed cup, also called a glass cup, made by Boss Peng. There are ten sets here. I brought them to the south to find a way to exchange them for silver. If the price is low, I can't sell them. There are still some more over there." When you come back from the south, bring those defective products to the north for a try." Jian Leyang laughed.

Zhang Meng and Qiu Tan were shocked and ecstatic at the same time. It turned out that it was fired in a kiln, not a real crystal cup, but this kind of craftsmanship can be made simply, and those glazed products are only made by the rich and powerful. affordable.

"But Boss, we are not familiar with the situation in the south. If we sell these cups ourselves, I'm afraid the price will not be able to sell."

Zhang Meng said worriedly that they] had never dealt with the merchants in the south, and if they really got there, they would not be at the mercy of others.

"Well, I've thought about this question. I have two ways here. One is to ask the young master of the Hua family to see if they have any intention of cooperating with the Hua family. The other is to find a way by ourselves. I remember Xie Wenyi's thank you My home is a business in the south. Although Xie’s family is gone now, Mama Ding is an old man from the south. She should know something about the situation in the south. I don’t know if she would like to take a trip. Cooperate with the Hua family, just give up a part of the profit." Jian Leyang explained.

"Then I'll go to Zhuangzi to ask." Zhang Meng couldn't sit still, and left immediately. Jian Leyang agreed, anyway, he made two preparations, wrote a letter himself, and asked someone to send it to Hua Jia, and he went with the letter. There is also a set of cups.

Fucheng.

Hua Jia touched the center of his eyebrows and asked, "Can't find the whereabouts of Hall Master Jiang? There is no news from the Qingyao Gang?"

The steward replied: "Yes, young master, we also have people watching from the Qingyao Gang. If he finds out the whereabouts of Hall Master Jiang, he won't stand still."

"You're right, that bastard surnamed Cheng, the death of Chief Wei must be inseparable from him, and the sewage was poured on Hall Master Jiang, but Hall Master Jiang has never shown up, could it be...already dead? What happened? Hua Jia didn't dare to think deeply, even his people couldn't find Jiang Zuofei's whereabouts, and he couldn't imagine where Jiang Zuofei could hide."

Someone once saw Jiang Zuofei show up in Xindan County, but after further investigation, there was no trace. Hua Jia also once suspected whether he had something to do with the Canghe Gang, but think about the friendship between the head of Jiang and the Canghe Gang. It was not as deep as the Hua family, and even if they were rescued by the Canghe Gang, no trace of Jiang Zuofei was found on their grounds.

Last year, the conflict between the Canghe Gang, Yunyang County, and Qingyao Gang, Hua Jia also sweated for Jian Leyang afterward. I didn't expect him to handle it in such a simple and rude way, but I have to say that it was very satisfying. He, whose surname is Ma, It's not pleasing to the eye, but Jian Leyang said it was abolished. The Liu family is also stupid. The Canghe gang kindly helped the Liu family.

Just thinking that the Liu family's way of dealing with it is really not a good person to make friends with, maybe at some point they will hold a grudge against you, and then stab you in the back, and someone will report: "Young master, the lady of the Liu family is here to see the lady Madam asked the younger one to ask the young master if he wants to meet the Liu family."

Mrs. Hua felt that the Liu family was also a wealthy local family and had ties to the Qingyao Gang, so she thought that making friends with the Liu family would not be harmful to the Hua family's business, so she asked someone to send a message to Hua Jia. Besides, Mrs. Liu brought She took the money from the Liu family and dressed so carefully, could she still not understand what the purpose of the beating was?It has to be said that the daughter of the Liu family is really delicate, and it's no wonder that the girl from the Liu family of the previous generation was able to win over Deputy Gang Leader Cheng of the Qingyao Gang. Of course, she didn't like her.

"Liu family? Hehe." Hua Jia sneered, waved his hand and said, "Just say that I don't have time for the time being, and I will go to see my mother when I have time, and let my mother entertain the guests well."

"Yes, sir."

"Father"

Another servant asked to see him, Hua Jia asked impatiently, "What's the matter this time?"

"Master, the people from the Canghe gang sent a letter and something. I ask the young master what to do with it." Whether to send people away or bring them in, if it wasn't for the young master's order before, just rush to the warehouse. Now that the River Gang has offended the Qingyao Gang, they will drive away the people who come without even looking at them.

"Canghe Gang? Bring people in quickly."

Hua Jia got up and pushed open the door of the study. In the past, it was a matter of etiquette. Hua Jia was very curious about what the Canghe Gang would do at such a critical time, asking the Hua family to help?

In fact, after Hua Jia knew the rumors from the Qingyao Gang and the Liu Family in private, he had already hinted that several cooperative merchants would hand over the goods to the Canghe Gang. He also wanted to see what methods the Canghe Gang would use to get rid of them. If we can get rid of the current predicament, then the Qingyao Gang can no longer suppress the Canghe Gang, and the Canghe Gang will quickly become a behemoth comparable to the Qingyao Gang. Some acts of giving charcoal in the middle of nowhere.

The servant secretly alerted himself, it seems that the wind outside did not have much influence on the young master, it is better to be careful when meeting people from the Canghe gang in the future, the servant quickly brought the people from the Canghe gang to Hua Jia, The person presented the letter and the box that he never handed over to anyone along the way: "The leader's meaning is written in the letter, and the leader said that Master Hua will understand after reading the letter."
